He's Looking For You

HE’S LOOKING FOR YOU By Roy Merritt The monster goes to the road each day Ah hopin’ to hitch a ride He’s puts a grin on his pretty face A toothy one and wide Well he sticks out his thumb then As he slowly walks along Sometimes he’s whistlin’ a tune sometimes he sings a song He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you Most days it comes a sorry nuthin’ Most times I’m glad to say But should someone pick him up It surely makes his day He’ll sure be glad for the company Be whispering in your ear Givin’ you some ideas You been ponderin’ on for years He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you Now you might like havin’ him there Might welcome his advice Might take it for the gospel truth Never dare think twice He’s the serpent in the garden of Eden Temptation is his game Aiming for your total destruction Or fillin' you with shame He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you So if you see him on the side of the road Just keep on going by Push down hard on that pedal Let that motor fly Put that machine in the wind Leave that sucker cold For if you pick him up You just might lose your soul He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
